Wortmannolone showed significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) inducing effects in HeLa cervical cells. The ROS inducing effect was concentration dependent, and the ROS generating activity was comparable with daunomycin, a potent chemotherapeutic agent. The findings suggested that the elevated formation of ROS was partially involved in the induction of apoptosis in treated cells. Potent cytotoxic and apoptotic effects were also displayed in MDA-MB-231 hormone independent breast cancer cells when treated with wortmannolone (IC<sub>50</sub>=3.79 nM).

The hollow-fiber assay was used to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of GZL <i>in vivo</i>. The mechanistic effects of GZL were evaluated in the HT-29 colonic cell line to reveal the pathway through which GZL exerts its effects. NF-κB subunits p65 and p50 were inhibited, and the upstream mediator IκB kinase (IKKβ) was downregulated in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptosis was mediated by caspase-3, and cell cycle arrest was detected in G<sub>1</sub>-phase. Consequently, 96% of the cell population was in sub G<sub>1</sub>-phase after treatment with GZL (10 μM).The antitumor effect of GZL was observed at a dose of 12.5 mg/kg. Cell adhesion was affected as a result of NF-κB inhibition. GZL appears to selectively target the transcription factor NF-κB. In summary, GZL sensitizes HT-29 colon cancer cells to apoptosis and cell death in a dose-dependent manner both <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i>, through NF-κB inhibition (IC<sub>50</sub> = 3.8 μM).
